The Department of Agrarian Reform (DAR) is set to distribute land titles and debt condonation certificates to agrarian reform beneficiaries across Region IV-A on Friday.
The distribution of the land titles and condonation certificates is part of the government’s continuing effort to uplift farmers through land ownership and financial freedom.
In a statement, the DAR said around 4,000 farmers in the MIMAROPA region will benefit from the activity.
The Distribution of E-Titles, Certificates of Land Ownership Award (CLOAs), and Certificates of Condonation with Release of Mortgage (CoCRoMs) will be held at the Sablayan Astrodome in Occidental Mindoro, with simultaneous ceremonies in all five provinces of MIMAROPA, the DAR said.
The event seeks to secure land tenure, free farmers from decades of unpaid amortizations, and empower rural communities through sustainable agrarian reform programs. A total of P186.9 million worth of land debts will be condoned under the New Agrarian Emancipation Act, benefiting 3,002 farmers across the region.
